"As the different costumes emerge they represent a different part of Thorin. I kind of move slightly differently in each costume and towards the end of the third film the character's physical shape drastically changes from the beginning."

I'd really like to hear more about the elven and dwarven Rings... they said far too little about them in LOTR. I hope they fix this. If, as it is rumored, Sauron is the main villan, and not Smaug, in the Hobbit, I hope they tell us more about the Seven and the Three. http://energyfromthorium.com/

I'm just making assumptions here because we haven't seen this armour yet. The small picture shows Thorin working barechested in his forge but, as far as I can make out, PJ rejected this and put him in a shirt (see facing page) presumably because of the difficulty of upper body prosthetics. Who knows whether this armour has been rejected or not?

He might not be too polished-looking in AUJ, but he'll be in control of himself. But I'm thinking that during TABA, he'll be going haywire for a while--that's what I'm talking about when I say "wild". Then at the end he'll get better, put on the armor, and look kingly and noble.
